Field Project Support

Field Project Support Scope

We provide field project support that includes combination of the following elements

onsite field technical support

Just-in-time-training (JITT)

data management/analysis/report.

The onsite field technical support normally includes one of our technical staff being onsite for the first 2 to 3 days of construction to provide technical support. The Just-in-time-training (JITT) normally includes 4 to 8 hours of hands-on Veta classroom and ICT field training. The latter ICT field training can be combined with ICT dealers’ support. The data management/analysis/report include export/download data files, Veta analysis, identification of issues and solutions, reports, etc.

Dr. George Chang is recognized as the world expert on pavement smoothness and intelligent compaction/construction technologies. His research, teaching, specification development and software tools (such as ProVAL and Veta) have helped made significant technology advancements in the above fields. Dr Chang has been the principal investigator for numerous projects that enhancing pavement materials/structures, pavement surface characteristics, etc. Recognized for his energetic, lively teaching style, Dr. Chang delivers hundreds of smoothness and intelligent compaction/construction related workshops around world. Dr. Chang has been the chairman for the International Intelligent Construction Technologies Group (IICTG), Road Profile Users’ Group (RPUG), TRB AFD90 Pavement Surface Properties and Vehicle Interaction committee, etc. Dr. Chang received many awards including a Kummer Lecture Award, Meyer-Horne Award, and ASTM Billiard-Stubstad Award from the ASTM; and NOVA award from Construction Innovation Forum, Founders’ Award from RPUG. His research work has been featured in over 50 professional publications and 100+ reports.

JASON DICK

Computer Programmer and Data Management Specialist

Email: JasonD@TheTranstecGroup.com

Jason has written numerous pavement software applications which have ranged from design to post-construction. He is responsible for architecting the non-analytical portions of several engineering applications, such as: ProVAL, Veta, HIPERPAV, COMPASS, and SmartCure. He has developed and managed several Web sites using content managements systems and database-driven, interactive sites. Mr. Dick’s extensive understanding of both software development and of the pavement industry enables him to produce computerized guidelines and multimedia tools that are robust in structure, yet simple to use. Also, with his experience in internet and multimedia technologies, Mr. Dick produces applications that are Internet enhanced, with HTML help files, Web site support, Web site links, e-mail access, multiple user management, and many other features. His cross-talents in both software and the Internet often reduce total development time, as the same files can quickly become presentation slides, web pages, or help files. Mr. Dick also brings the unique ability of incorporating into every software application the concept of total interoperability, where custom software applications can communicate easily with industry standard spreadsheets, databases, and other common software packages.

KIRAN MOHANRAJ, PE (CA, TX)
